If you also have Windows 10 and are wondering which antivirus would do a better job in your case, you just have to take into account the following.
First, there is Windows Defender. This antivirus allows, according to tests conducted at AV-TEST, to detect malware and viruses in the vast majority of users. This detection concerns both viruses that have been pre-installed in the software, weeks ago, and viruses that are running at the same time. The argument with which it will win a buyer is the fact that it is perfectly integrated into Windows.
A very common choice has always been the well-known Kaspersky. In fact, Kaspersky is another application with performance problems in the past. Now, of course, one would describe the antivirus as anything but problematic, which in the various tests it has undergone has also had almost completely successful results.
Another well-known antivirus is Malwarebytes Premium. Malwarebytes, which has been around for many years, does not cover the entire day, which is why anyone who wants 24/7 protection needs to pay for the premium version. To make sure it covers you before you buy it, it offers a 14-day trial.
Bitdefender Internet Security is at the same level of efficiency as Kaspersky . Having also achieved very high success rates, it becomes a worthy choice for buyers.
An antivirus for those with an older computer is F-Secure SAFE. This is because it has been observed that on the same computer model it had the smallest performance drop when launching popular websites.
If you want virus protection on Windows, you can also consider McAfee Internet Security. What sets it apart from other antiviruses is its vulnerability scans, which aren't always performed.
ESET NOD32 has some of the lowest false positive rates, is lightweight, and is consistently near the top of the charts.
Finally, it is worth mentioning the well-known Norton security. It may have been pushed aside in the past by other, either more economical or free solutions, but today it is making a strong comeback with high scores in AV-TEST and minimal performance drops on popular websites.
Of course, there are always free antivirus options. They may be lower in performance than those mentioned earlier, but they are the only option for anyone who cannot afford them.
